Recipe
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Store in an airtight container. Pack on the dry rub onto your next rack of ribs.
Two days before I put the ribs in the brine mixture overnight. Then the day before I am going to smoke them I pat them dry and put the rub on the ribs and let them sit overnight to let the flavors soak in. This also lets me get them on the smoker as soon as possible. The ribs are then on the smoke for approximately 7 to 8 hours depending on how many are being made. I use hickory chips soaked overnight and try to keep the temperature within the smoker between 225 and 250 degrees F.
